The Boston Red Sox have won 15 straight games. It's only the 17th winning streak of 15 or more in the last century and the longest since St. Louis won 17 in a row in 2021.
On June 24, Boston had the worst record in the AL at 32-46. Currently the Sox have the fifth-best at 52-48.
The Pelicans went 26-56 last season and somehow followed it up with an offseason featuring no trades, no free-agent signings, and 14 of the same 15 players returning ๐

The Boston Red Sox have won 14 consecutive games. It's the second-longest winning streak in the 126-year history of the franchise. They can tie the record, set in 1946, with a victory against Baltimore tomorrow. A remarkable turnaround that just keeps getting better.
Today's game between the Red Sox and Orioles will be the second time in MLB history in which two teams on win streaks of 7+ games meet & the combined win streak is 20+ games.
The other was on September 13, 1884, between the St. Louis Maroons (12) and Washington Nationals (11).
On July 2, the Boston Red Sox were in last in the AL East, had the fourth-worst record in the league and were 6.5 games back of the final wild card spot with six teams to leap.
Today, the Red Sox are a half-game behind Minnesota and Seattle for that final wild card spot.
